Good day gents...
I found this thread after just having acquired a 1982 24 (25) Martinni that someone started rebuilding and gave up.
The boat seems solid enough, new floor glassed in, and new fuel tank, etc.
I hope to bring the boat back to near original condition for just as a toy for stress relief.
Amazed at the history exposed here about these boats.

I know this is a very old thread but I've always wondered if the numerous versions of the 24x7 hulls could be traced back to the 7' beam that Magoon didn't care for. I realize the Fire Fox / Banana is 8', but I'm guessing Aronow convinced someone that the 7' design was great and sold the mold or plug to P&D or Excalibur (not sure who was 1st) and one of them ran with it.

Morning merry Xmas to all now u guys talked about the 26 corsair how about my 31 its a 94 it had a single BBC in it .I did a transom on it and put 2 250 mercs on it goes 60 some one had. Same rig in Fl any IMF on it??? How Manny were made. Oh yeah I miss my 30 velocity w tripps and my 24 banana the red one from li that went to Connecticut thanks guys

Oh yeah I thought there was a 26 corsair on li project for sale on list don't know what happened to it

I would say that all the 7' beam 24' hulls came originally from the 7' beam 24' Magnum. You can see more here on OSO starting with post # 5.

Thanks, I remember reading that thread a while back. I guess what I really wanted to know was who made the 1st copy and how did it go down. I met Pepe at his shop years ago and I'm pretty sure he told me he copied a P&D and I think John from Superboat told me he copied a P&D as well. I'm still thinking it was either P&D or Excalibur that followed the Magnum.
